Chapter Twelve – 4 Days: Life on the Roxx
4 Days – New Orleans, Louisiana, 8pm:
Roxxi Laveaux was on the worst date of her life and she had planned on being on a much cooler one. Carlito had blown Roxxi away with his laid back charm and cool attitude, problem was she had agreed to see someone Traci Brooks had set her up with and he was really excited about it so she didn't want to let him down. Unfortunately that meant that she couldn't spend anymore time with Carlito and he was all she thought about and the feeling was mutual as Carlito was very disappointed that Roxxi couldn't hang out with him in Boca Vista, Florida because he wanted to cook her up some nice Caribbean cooking. Now this guy had spoilt both Carlito and Roxxi's plans and he wasn't much of a date either. Roxxi looked at the plate in front of her and she never wanted a drink more in her life. Bert Castellano had insisted on taking her to one of the worst restaurants in the whole of Louisiana.
"What's wrong Roxxi? Aren't you enjoying your meal?" Bert asked chomping down on his dry chicken fillet, Bert obviously liked the food at the restaurant very much and she didn't want to hurt him by saying that if she took another bite he was going to see the food in reverse.
"No it's not that Bert I'm just not very hungry," Roxxi said and her stomach rumbled.
"What was that?" Bert asked thinking he heard a stomach rumble.
"I think that was the waiter," Roxxi said and the waiter looked at her puzzled before walking away.
"After this I thought we'd go dancing, whad'ya say Roxxi wanna dance? I heard you like to dance!" Bert said excitedly.
"Yeah I sure do," Roxxi said half-heartedly, truth was she loved to dance but right now she wanted to eat just as long as it wasn't the food in front of her right now.
"Okay its settled then, right after dessert we go dancing," Bert said.
"Dessert?" Roxxi said sadly, she couldn't sit and watch Bert eat dessert when she hadn't even had an edible main course, "I'm just gonna go to the bathroom, I'll be right back," Roxxi said.
"Take your time!" Bert said and Roxxi sighed, she really didn't want to spend anymore time with him, every minute she spent with him reminded her of how cool Carlito was and how cool Bert Castellano wasn't.
After bashing her head against the stall door for the eleventh time, Roxxi convinced herself to return to her table where she was surprised to see Homicide and Hernandez better known as LAX sitting with Bert.
"You really did take your time didn't you Roxxi!" Bert said now eating dessert which looked rather disgusting, "Look who just happened to be here!" he said pointing to LAX.
"Yeah we thought you might not even come back," Homicide said.
"Yeah we just wanted to make sure you were enjoying your date with Bert," Hernandez said and Roxxi narrowed her eyes at them both.
"What are you guys really doing here?" she asked them sitting down and Homicide stuck his face behind a menu lowered his voice and leaned over to her.
"We're here to make sure Carlito isn't, we know you two got a little inter-promotional thing going and Jeff Jarrett told us to make sure it doesn't go any further," Homicide said and Roxxi laughed.
"What are you gonna do follow me around?" Roxxi said.
"No we're going to make sure you have a second date with Bert," Homicide said and Roxxi gasped.
"No you can't Homicide he's awful, this restaurant is awful and I'm having an awful time can't you see that? Why do you think I was in the bathroom for so long?" Roxxi said.
"Give the guy a chance it could get better, he says he's an awesome dancer," Homicide said.
"Yeah I heard, problem is his idea of awesome is not my idea of awesome," Roxxi said unenthusiastically slumping back in her chair while Bert finished his dessert, "My idea of awesome has curly afro hair and mocha brown eyes," she said dreaming of Carlito as Bert cleaned his plate, soon they'd be dancing together and Roxxi sighed, "Could this night get any worse?" she said to herself.
"What will it be sir?" the waiter asked Homicide.
"I'll have the Cajun curry chicken," Homicide said.
"Hmmm, that sounds good I'll have that too," Hernandez said.
"Great choice you guys," Bert said, "that's what Roxxi ordered but she couldn't finish it, too bad it was delicious,"
Roxxi made a face and LAX exchanged worried glances seeing that Roxxi wasn't too keen on the food and they wondered if she had a point. But the smell the came from the kitchen told them different and went their food landed on the table twenty minutes later they were literally drooling.
"Whoa this smells delicious!" Homicide said and Roxxi frowned.
"That's the Cajun curry chicken?" she asked confused, it smelt so much better and it looked twice as good too.
"Hmmm, this is awesome!" Hernandez said.
"Can I taste some of yours Homicide?" Roxxi said and Bert frowned.
"I thought you said you were full?" he said furrowing his brow as Roxxi tasted the chicken.
"Oh my God, this is cool!" Roxxi said.
"Did someone say my name?" came the ever confident voice of Carlito who approached Roxxi and the Knockout couldn't have been happier, unlike LAX and Bert who were now put off their delicious food as Roxxi embraced the cool one, "Do you like Carlito's Caribbean cooking?" he asked LAX who turned their faces up at their plates in disgust.
"Wait-a-minute vato, you made this?" Homicide said and Carlito nodded.
"I couldn't let Roxxi eat the food here, it's terrible!" Carlito said and Bert frowned.
"I love the food here, come on Roxxi let's go," Bert said but Roxxi shook her head.
"I'm sorry Bert but I'm staying here with Carlito," Roxxi said and Bert angrily pulled off his bib and threw it on the table.
"Well you can pay the bill, I'm outta here!" Bert snapped angrily and stormed out of the restaurant.
"Shouldn't you guys be following him, losers tend to hang out together and you're cramping our style," Carlito said to LAX.
"If you think you're going anywhere with Roxxi you got another thing coming culo, get him Hernandez!" Homicide said before taking another bite of his food and Hernandez frowned.
"Why don't you get him?" Hernandez said between munches.
"I can't this food is delicious I can't stop eating it!" Homicide said.
"I know!" Hernandez said, "What the Hell did you put in this Carlito?" Hernandez asked while Carlito leaned back confidently in the chair Bert Castellano was sitting in.
"Well normally I add some Caribbean spices, some cayenne pepper and rosemary, but for you two I added something a little bit more special," Carlito said.
"And what was that?" Homicide asked.
"Sleeping powder," Carlito said and LAX froze but before they could take their frustration out on Carlito they fell asleep in their Cajun curry chicken.
Roxxi laughed, "How did you get in the kitchen?" she said.
"I told them who I was, they love Carlito in New Orleans so they let me cook," Carlito said and Roxxi looked at the sleeping Tag Champs on the table.
"Can we go?" she said.
"Yeah they can pay the bill," Carlito said taking Roxxi by the hand and escorting her out of the restaurant.
"So did Traci tell you where I was?" Roxxi asked holding Carlito's hand fondly.
"Yeah after I begged her," Carlito said and then he turned to Roxxi and looked her in the eye, "I couldn't imagine not spending the rest of the week without you," he said sweetly and Roxxi smiled.
"Remind me to kiss Traci when I get back to the Impact Zone," Roxxi said.
"Why don't you practice on me first?" Carlito said and Roxxi leaned in for a kiss which was quickly broken up by the bright lights of several lowriders and Carlito and Roxxi looked over and saw the entire Latino Nation staring back at them. LAX had brought reinforcements and they wasn't enough food in the kitchen for Carlito to spike to get them to sleep.
"Would it be cowardly to run?" Roxxi said to Carlito.
"Yes," Carlito replied as the Latino Nation advanced on them.
"Then let's take them down one by one," Roxxi said and did a DDT on one of the gangsters while Carlito hit another one of them with the BackStabber. Roxxi and Carlito brawled between the mob of Latinos, felling most of them but it seemed the more they attacked, the more came. Suddenly blindsided Carlito was thrown onto one of the low-riders and fell onto the ground.
"Carly!" Roxxi called out but one of the gangsters pulled her back and she hit them with a clothesline but found herself being strangled by another one of them. Carlito tried to shake off the impact of being thrown across the low-rider and saw that Roxxi was in trouble, Roxxi could see him coming towards her but she could also see a car heading in Carlito's direction.
"I'm coming Roxxi!" Carlito called moving forward.
"No Carlito go back!" Roxxi screamed but it was too late the car was already on its way. I gotta do something, Roxxi said kicking the gangster in the chest then she dropped to her knees as he fell to his in pain and prayed Psalm 118:
"The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me? Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help Carlito. I will look in triumph at those who hate me."
As Roxxi opened her eyes a black van drove in front of the car about to crash into Carlito and a beautiful sound filled the air and the Latino Nation stopped fighting and instead they started rejoicing.
"That music, I've heard it before," Roxxi said and the black van opened up and out stepped a little angel with a ten string harp that she played beautifully.
"Cheyenne!" Carlito said as Roxxi ran over to her and hugged her.
"You saved Carlito's life!" she said emotionally.
"I didn't Roxxi, you did with your faith. God bless you," Cheyenne said and Roxxi kissed her on the head, then she turned to Carlito and threw her arms around him grateful that he was alive and the Latino Nation drove off honking their horns and praising the Lord in Spanish.
"Okay guys in the van let's go," Cameron said as Roxxi and Carlito saw the bridesmaids and their dates looking back at them with big smile on their faces.
"Is there something you guys need to tell us?" Carlito asked the ARK Angels.
"GET IN THE VAN!" LC yelled and Roxxi and Carlito listened and dove inside and there Carlito and Roxxi heard similar encounters with TNA militants from the bridesmaids and the men that cared for them very much.
